Sleeping Beauty Castle at the World

[rufio]

Based on mention here, I started reading Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, by Cory Doctorow. I'm not sure if anyone else has read it, or if anyone who has read it caught onto this, but I noticed a blatant error in the early pages of the book.

If you can't see, it says, at the end, "moving toward the breezeway at Sleeping Beauty Castle." After seeing this, I had to double check to ensure that this book was even written Disney World, but it is. He mentions it by name multiple times. I found this interesting because his knowledge of the World seems impressive, but this is such a silly mistake to make!

Anyway, just thought I'd share and see if anyone had anything to say on the matter.

UPDATE: I emailed the author about this error. He responded to inform me that this error was corrected after the first edition and he was surprised that it could still be found in a B&N.com Nook book.

It has been an interesting read so far...

If you don't mind, please PM me when you finish and let me know if it is worth the read. I am highly intrigued...

I don't think I've ever read a book or seen a tv show about WDW (or Disneyland for that matter) that didn't confuse the two of them at some point. Kingdom Keepers does it, the mouse tales books, most of the History channel specials... It gets a bit annoying really.

I definitely will

So it seems. You'd think that people who write these books would have better knowledge of their subjects, or would at least do some fact checking.
